Monmouth and Brecon Canal: Llangatock to Brecon 29 June 2024

Having had a good nights sleep in the Old Rectory Hotel an early start was made. The canal is at the edge of the hotel property so access is easy. 
The start of the days walk

Ashford tunnel (343m) near Llandetty

After 8 miles I  got to Talybont where I discovered, (due to my early start) the pub didnt open for another hour and the next bus was in 2 hours so I decided to keep on walking to Brecon for a coffee. It wouldnt take too long as I had already done this part of the canal so there wouldnt need to be any sightseeing! 

Brecon is approaching!

The additional 8 miles to the Brecon canal basin took 2.5 hours after which the coffee and recovery cake was had. I then caught the bus from Brecon Bus station back to Abergavenny where I caught the train back to Malvern


 16.5 miles in
